According to AP, the review also found that a 14-day standard for scheduling veterans' medical appointments is unrealistic and that some employees manipulated the wait times so they would appear to be shorter.

The report was ordered after it was disclosed earlier this year that sick veterans may have died while waiting on treatment from the VA.

The report indicates a system more broken than first thought. One-fourth of all federal "whistleblower" reports come out of the VA, according to the AP.

The VA scandal has reached far and wide across the nation. In Alabama, U.S. Rep. Martha Roby, R-Montgomery, expressed frustration in mid-June when she said she was misled about the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System.
